A wise person should have money in their head, but not in their heart. – Jonathan Swift
Im not the same person I was. I used to act dumb. It was an act. I am 26 years old, and that act is no longer cute. It is not who I am, nor do I want to be that person for the young girls who looked up to me. I know now that I can make a difference, that I have the power to do that. – Paris Hilton
